I use my iPad to send iMessages to my boyfriends iPhone. It's the same account and used to work but now when I send a message to him, it also sends my message back to me. How can I get this to stop?

Can someone help me figure this out??

I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

Frequently I will be asked to sign in to my Apple account, but it is using an email I don't use with Apple. How can I get this to stop?

I use an iPod4 Touch and am using IOS 6.1.6. Frequently I will be asked to sign in to my Apple account, but it is using an email I don't use with Apple. How can I get this to stop? This is happening repeatedly throughout the day. I don't have an Apple password for this email address, nor do I want one!

Maybe an App that needs updating was purchased by that account?
Could someone have installed an app not purchased with your account?
Can you post a screen shot of the message?

Or better yet, create and use new Apple IDs for others in your household. You could always use different Apple IDs for iCloud services (like iMessage and FaceTime) and iTunes and App Store., but it's even easier to share purchased content now with Family Sharing.

I am getting undeliverable mail from people I did not send mail to. How can I get this to stop?

I recently received rejected mail notices from Postmaster that I did not send and are encrytped. My address is being used, and I do not know these web addresses these emails were being sent to. How can I resolve this issue?

We will need more information to be able to assist you.
These message yoy are receiving are probably just a particular type of spam. However it is also possible (unlikely) that your email account is being used to send spam, and that these are the bounce messages.
To tell the difference, you need to look at the email headers. Open the message, then go to the View menu and select Message -> All Headers.
Select the text and post it back here (remembering to obscure your own email address first).

So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared. Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical. It's also been removed from my phone. How can I get outlook to sync with ical

When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone. I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether. Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal. The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date. In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone. How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal? If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone? All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone. This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out. I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

HT5622 Thx in advance for your help with this question. I changed the apple ID for my account but now that I update IOS 7, it still stubornly sticks to my old apple ID. How can I get my cloud settings to switch to a new apple ID?

pls read headline

Delete the account, then provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you can't remember your password, or it is rejected when you try it, you'll have to do one of the following:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

HT204085 Keep being asked for keychain id every time I open a new web page. How can I get this to stop?

First I was locked out of my computer. I followed some advice on how to delete keychain folder and make a new login keychain, which worked, but now I am constatnly being asked to put in the ID. How can I make this stop?

Open Firefox -> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "No Style"
Now the pages will open in your suggested font sizes. Check and tell if its working.

If I use the function to align adjacent fields, or the function to match size, duplicate fields are created. How can I get this to stop?

I have a form that consists of columns and rows of fillable fields. When I use the edit function to make the height of the fields the same, or make the widths of the different columns of fields the same, or align the fields vertically or horizontally, duplicate fields are created. If these fields have a box around them, all of the duplicate fields' boxes are shown. The field names have the same base name, but have a suffix that is sequentially numbered. If I delete the "lower" numbered suffix names (with the same base name), the resulting field does not appear on the form.
What is going on with the alignment or size process. I do use the CTRL-Click function to select the group of fields I am trying to size or align. If using the selection of multiple fields should be done differently, how can it be done?

No. That's not what's happening. The duplicate fields are ONLY created after I employ the alignment or sizing functions. Weird.
I was hoping that this was the result of some kind of setting in Acrobat, or that the duplicate fields would disappear when saving the form, but that's not what happened.
Thanks for your input, however.

I keep getting a pop-up message that api.del.icio.us:443 USPS uses an invalid security certificate and want to stop getting this message. How can I get this to stop?

The message goes on to say the certificate expired on 5/22/11 at 3:11 pm Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate.
I get this pop-up message about every 5 minutes.
I am not an IT professional or advanced user so please provide a simple solution. Thank you.

I'm having this problem too. Tried the above link and thinking that sounded pretty straight forward, unfortunately this message was displayed:

I just updated my phone and now my phone is acting up. Now while playing my ipod music the sound fades in and out how can i get this to stop and play whole song?

ok so last night i finally decided to do the upgrade on my phone... well i guess BIG mistake.... now my phone is tripping.... my apps arent working right.... had to delete fb several times..... my photos wouldnt load back up....and my ipod music wouldnt upload for @ least 2 hours.... really krazy... well im frustrated cause i really wanted to listen to my music and when i was trying to do so my sound kept going in and out..... all by its self.... how in the world can i fix this problem?????? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Oh and i have tried resetting my phone several times with no such luck.....
Also side note my phone is really really slowwwwwwwww now!!
thanx again

But I do back up everything, as much as I am able...
However, it seems to me I've got to shift everything back into iTunes - Again.
if this is the norm, I would like to see - for others because now I know! - a little warning
"Hi, We're iTunes, and you need an update. So please update, just let it be known however, then when you do - we'll delete your catalog and any playlists. Thanks for using iTunes"
something like that, because now I've gotta re-load everything back... bolics I say bolics.

Even though I have WiFi connections at home, I can't get emails, nor surf the web... I am using my IMac connected at the same network and it is working right now

Even though I am ahving WiFi connections at my home, and I have been using the same network for a while, I can't get my IPad connected. The net is working fine as I am using my IMac linked at the same WiFi connection. I already run the reset the network process. Nothing hapenned.

Can I assume that you have connected to your home WiFi network in the past with your iPad? If you have, did you try any really basic troubleshooting steps like restart the iPad or reboot it?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

My father in-law bought an iPhone 4 awhile back and has been taking a lot of pictures with his phone and it's worked but now when he opens his camera it doesn't give him the option to use his front camera?

Why will his phone not give him the option of using his front camera?

Also, the iPhone is not a Storage device... has he been Backing Up Regularly...

HT2625 My iPhone 4 has been re-fetching emails which I had previously deleted. How can I get this to stop? It is costing me data charges.

My iPhone4 has been re-fetching emails which I had previously deleted, causing me to have to delete them again, at which point another 200 old messages show up. This is eating into my data allowance.

You can either go to your webmail site and delete the old emails off the server so they can't be re-fetched, or assuming this is a POP account, change your settings for deleting email off the incoming server when you retreive your email (which will also make them unavailable for retreival from other devices such as your computer).
